Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone got any questions on Project - Replacing CV Joints for your Porsche 996 / 997 Carrera? Here's a back link to the original article: Pelican Technical Article: 41-TRANS-Replacing_CV_Joints -Wayne

POST 2Original post

A good article. There is an old VW trick to prolong the life of the CV joints - swap left and right axles. Is this applicable to the 996 as well? The reason I ask is that I have a 'drone' on gthe highway. No clicking, just a rumble. Might be tires which are PS2s.

POST 3Original post

Quotes source post: 9179977

PS2's normally pretty quiet, I think you CAN swap the axles left to right BUT... This drone is more than likely a wheel bearing noise. They are fairly common for causing the drone like a bad tire. It can sound like you have swamp mudder 4wd tires on there sometimes. If it is a bearing you can notice a slight increase in the sound intensity when turning the steering wheel slightly while driving at a speed where the drone is apparent. The wheel bearing will become noisier when UN-loaded, meaning that if you steer to the right it is a right side wheel bearing, and vice versa. I have yet to see an axle cause a drone BUT I learn something new every day!! Let us know how it goes
